Introducing the Remington Sportsman-58 Magnum, a distinguished semi-automatic shotgun crafted to deliver power, precision, and elegance. Manufactured in 1959, this iconic piece embodies the transition from classic post-war firearms to modern designs, making it a prized possession for collectors and hunters alike. With its robust 12 gauge caliber, 3-round capacity, and ability to handle magnum shells, it is perfect for tackling larger game. The shotgun's blued finish is beautifully complemented by intricate engravings of birds, dogs, and floral scrolls, reflecting the mid-century trend of enhancing firearms with artistic detail. Although it shows some signs of use, including a crack in the forend wood and various scratches, the bore remains in excellent condition with a clean, mirror finish, ensuring reliable performance.
The vent rib, professionally installed as an aftermarket addition, adds to its functionality and style. The unique dial on the forend allows for easy adjustment between light and heavy loads, offering versatility in the field.
As you hold this piece of history, you'll appreciate the walnut stock and forend with cut checkering and a rubber recoil pad, providing comfort and grip. The 30" barrel with a front brass bead and a small brass mid-bead sight ensures accuracy, while the full fixed choke offers consistent patterns for hunting. The game scene engravings not only enhance its aesthetic but also its collectible value, making it a conversation starter and a testament to American gun craftsmanship.
